UPDATE: 04/19/2019 Sentenced to life in prison with possibility of parole. Their first opportunity to go before the parole board is in 25 years. Two of their children have so far given victim impact statements. A daughter said the father changed their mother. He was the one in charge. David Turpin said "if I've done anything to cause them harm..." David still doesn't think he did anything wrong. David and Louise both talk about God, thanking God for their children whom they feel are blessings. A son said he still has nightmares but has forgiven his parents. The daughter also forgave them and said she still loved them.

I think the youngest is not listed as there are only 12 here. At arrest they had six minor children which are the non adults listed above and their youngest. They are listing the victims as children and adults for crimes against them as minors and adults.

Below are the children born in Texas. I matched them up to the names above.

02/09/2018 The gofundme for the 13 kids is now at $450,000. There have now been offers to take them from David's brother Randy or Louise's sister. Based on what others have stated about Louise's sister and what I've read about Randy I don't think those would be good homes. More information is coming on this issue.

01/31/2018 Someone posted a comment stating that the grandfather may be the one who molested the granddaughters Louise and her sister. The paternal grandfather was preacher King Turpin who died in 1977. The maternal grandfather was William Rose who died in 1972. Below is the updated family tree.

01/28/2018 The case finally showed up in Riverside County Superior Court unsealed. Previously it was sealed. This is just for David Turpin. Louise has all the same charges except lewd act with a minor. The charges are dated 01/01/2010. I assume that is when the crimes started eight years ago.

01/24/2017 I had thought all their children's names started with a "J." It was just confirmed that Louise told her neighbor all their children's name start with a "J."

"Judge Smith approved a three-year protective order that bars the parents from contacting their children in any way — including by phone or electronically — except through their lawyer." Next hearing February 23, 2018.

Hearing today. DA is seeking a protective order to prevent the parents from contacting the children.

01/19/2017 There is a hearing tomorrow 01/24/2018 at 1:30 at the court house.

David Turpin was getting a job transfer from California to Oklahoma with the defense contractor Northrop Grumann. They were preparing to move to Oklahoma. Police said moving boxes were in the home.

Information from old neighbors in Texas.

Former Texan neighbours of David and Louise Turpin, the American couple whose 13 children were discovered chained and malnourished last week, have described a previous home littered with faeces, dead animals and a makeshift classroom.

Ricky Vinyard, a tree feller from Rio Vista also told how one Christmas eight bikes arrived but remained untouched outside until they bleached in the sun.

And that one of the daughters once ran away from home, only to be returned to her parents by another local resident.

“It was waist-deep in filth. There were dead dogs and cats in there,” he told the Los Angeles Times.

He described how he found two Chihuahuas that had survived by eating waste from a mound of soiled nappies in a trailer behind the property where the children slept.

“There were no beds, just mattresses."

Inside the four-bedroom, two-bathroom home he said that: "There wasn’t a place that wasn’t filthy.

“Everything had locks on it: the closet had locks, the toy chest, the refrigerator.”

________________

David's brother is Randy Turpin a preacher and writer of religious books. The entire family is very religious. In fact the reverends in the family make their money off religion. Below is a video of Randy Turpin preaching. I emailed him asking if he's David's brother. He opened the email but did not reply. He is.

Information from someone who knows Louise's sister Elizabeth Flores. I paraphrased it to avoid cut/paste so as not to give away identity of informant.

"Elizabeth has seven children. The Department of Health was called on her. When they put her father in a nursing home they moved to WV from TN and were living in squalor. Cats locked in the basement, dogs tied to trees in the yard without shelter or water. The kids never had a bite to eat. Elizabeth stated she thought her husband was molesting the girls. All of the kids were sleeping on the filthy floor on carpet with no blankets. The entire family is crazy. Her father was a well respected man in our community."

The children were not allowed to use the restroom. What did the poor girls do during their periods? Maybe they were too thin to have periods? Nightmare.

According to the family David Turpin basically kidnapped Louise from her high school and took her to Texas to get married. Louise's father did not approve of David. After Louise went with David to Texas, Louise's father approved the marriage. People can marry in West Virginia at age 16.

These are the updated charges. Both have the same charges except David has an extra charge of lewd act on a child.

The charges against David and Louise Turpin:
12 counts of torture
1 count against David Turpin of a lewd act on a child
7 counts of abuse against a dependent adult
6 counts of child abuse/neglect
12 counts of false imprisonment

Case No. is PE180140020

They appeared in court and pled not guilty to all charges. David has a public defender. Louise has an outside attorney most likely paid for by her family. I'm amazed David got a public defender when he has $150K equity in the home and $100K+ in his retirement accounts. You generally have to be penniless to get a public defender.

Next court date is set for Feb. 23, 2018 at 1:30 at the same court house.02/23/2018 13:30

The children are starting to tell their stories. They ate once a day, bathed twice a year. Were not allowed access to the bathroom. The father may have done something inappropriate with one girl under the age of 14. House of horrors!

ORIGINAL: David Allen Turpin was born October 17, 1961. He is currently in Riverside County jail. He is charged with nine felony counts of torture and ten felony counts of child endangerment. He was arrested yesterday and booked today. His next court date is Jan 18, 2018. Below is his jail record. His wife Louise Ann Robinette Turpin was born May 24, 1968. Her jail record is below David's. They have court appearances at the same time.

They were married for the first time each February 1985 in Giles County, Virginia, see marriage license below. They keep renewing their vows. David's parents are James Randolph Turpin and Betty Jean Rose. David is from Princeton, Mercer, West Virginia. He was 23 when they were married and she was 16. Her parents are Allen Wayne Robinette and Phyllie Ann Taylor who are both dead. She's also from West Virginia.

They've lived in Benbrook, Texas and Fort Worth, Texas from 1990 to at least 1993. They had quite a few kids in Texas.

They've named their children using the first letter "J." Here are the children I've found so far born in Texas. They have 13 children between the ages of 2 and 29. Below are some of the adults.

David Turpin attended Glenwood Junior High then Princeton High School, graduating in 1979, and consistently made the school’s honor roll with grades of B’s or better. A copy of the school’s yearbook from 1979, obtained by the Bluefield Daily Telegraph, listed him as an officer in the Bible Club and Chess Club and a member of the Science Club and Acapella Choir. He graduated from Virginia Tech and was a computer engineer. Afterward, he went to work for General Dynamics in Texas. Defense contractor Lockheed Martin confirmed that Turpin worked for them until 2010.

Below is the family tree. I didn't include all the children. This family is pure West Virginia. Their families were farmers or coal miners. They were all very religious. The family has quite a few Reverends.

"A Man Called King: The Life and Legacy of King Turpin, Jr. What difference can one life make? Born in 1903 as the son of a wanderer in East Tennessee, King Turpin, Jr.’s childhood was everything but stable. However, an encounter with God’s grace instantaneously transformed his life, and for the remainder of his days, faithfulness to the God who had saved him became his highest ambition. This narrative is based on the memories and stories of the people who knew King and is informed by thirty years of research conducted by his grandson, J. Randolph Turpin, Jr. The book contains enlightening descriptions of King’s life as a vagrant in the Tennessee River Valley, as a cotton mill worker in Knoxville, as a miner in Kentucky, Arizona and West Virginia, and as a farmer-miner-preacher in the Appalachian mountain region. It is a story filled with amazing incidents of faith in the midst of hardships and dramatic manifestations of God’s power in the midst of impossibilities. The story of King Turpin, Jr. demonstrates the significance of a life devoted to God. Although this book was written as a tribute to King Turpin with the intent of inspiring faith in God, it also contains valuable information for researchers exploring Appalachian culture and the history of other East Tennessee Turpins."

Here is their Facebook page. Kids looked alright a few years ago back in 2011. What happened? The pics posted in 2016 and 2013 are from an earlier photo shoot. (FB page is gone. I saved it.)https://www.facebook.com/davidlouise.turpin

They went bankrupt in Riverside, California in 2011 and list 11 children. They had a child after that. He is an engineer who was making $12,000/month working for Lockheed Martin and Northrop. They have three cars, had a home, RV, farm in Texas, had property repossessed. He had two 401K's with over $100K.

U.S. Bankruptcy Court
Central District of California (Riverside)
Bankruptcy Petition #: 6:11-bk-37911-WJ Their debts were discharged.

Here is their bankruptcy document. I removed all social security numbers.

They live and own the home at 160 Muir Woods Rd, Perris, CA 92570. It's a 4 bed, 3 bath, 2,388 sf home built in 2013 on a 7,405 sf lot. They bought it new in 2014 for $351,000 with a $344,446 first loan. Loan is FHA with Home Community Mortgage LLC out of Irving, Texas. They're weren't in default or foreclosure. They have about $100K+ in equity. I can only imagine how expensive it would be to have that many kids. Still, they could have gone to a soup kitchen, pantry, asked their family for help. They hadn't spoken to their family in 3-4 years per their parents. Their adult kids could have been working outside of the house. Why did the father make them stay?He would have been able to care for the children under 18 if he let the adults leave and get jobs. The husband and wife were average+ weight for their height. How could they let their children starve yet they continue to eat? Below is their home.

His home is listed as a school, Sandcastle Day School. David is the Principal.

I wonder if he got funds for charter school because he made a school? LAUSD said that each child who goes to charter school takes $8,000 per child per year. I don't know Riverside county costs. Using LAUSD as an avg, $8,000 x 8 of their kids are still school age is $64,000/year in income as a charter school. The national average is $11,000/child/year for charter school.

I can only imagine husband was too proud to ask for help. He could have sold his home, pocketed $120K and rented a place. He could have gone to a soup kitchen, pantry, sent his wife to one to get food. I think he chained them because they were starving and trying to run away to get food.

Mother's sister is a "writer." She states she was abused as a child. Was Louise also abused? These people are all very religious, into having huge families. They are from West Virginia and their families used to be coal miners.

"Early Sunday morning on January 14, 2018, a 17-year old juvenile escaped from her residence situated in the 100 Block of Muir Woods Road, Perris and managed to call 911 from a cellular device she found inside the house. The teenager claimed her 12 brothers and sisters were being held captive inside the residence by her parents and further claimed some of her siblings were bound with chains and padlocks.

When Police Officers from the Perris Police Department and Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department met with the juvenile, she appeared to be only 10 years old and slightly emaciated. After a brief interview with the female, they contacted 57-year old David Allen Turpin and 49-year old Louise Anna Turpin at the residence where the teenager escaped.

Further investigation revealed several children shackled to their beds with chains and padlocks in dark and foul-smelling surroundings, but the parents were unable to immediately provide a logical reason why their children were restrained in that manner. Deputies located what they believed to be 12 children inside the house, but were shocked to discover that 7 of them were actually adults, ranging in age from 18 to 29. The victims appeared to be malnourished and very dirty. Perris Station Detectives were dispatched to the residence for further investigation.

All 13 victims, ranging from the age of 2 to 29, were transported to the Perris Station and interviewed. Both parents were detained and transported to the station for further investigation. Child Protective Services (CPS) and Adult Protective Services (APS) arrived to assist in the investigation. The victims were provided with food and beverages after they claimed to be starving.

The six children were eventually transported to the Riverside University Hospital System (RUHS) for medical examinations and admitted for treatment. The seven adult children were transported to Corona Regional Medical Center for an examination and admitted for medical treatment.

Both parents were interviewed in this matter and subsequently transported to the Robert Presley Detention Center (RPDC). They were booked for violations of California Penal Code Section 206–Torture and Section 273a(A)–Child Endangerment. Bail was set at $9,000,000.00 each.

Anyone with additional information regarding this investigation is encouraged to contact Master Investigator Tom Salisbury at the Perris Station by calling (951) 210-1000, or by email at PerrisStation@RiversideSheriff.org"

UPDATE: 01/16/2018 And the truth starts to come out. As I suspected this has to do with Woodward having odd feelings about homosexuals. Stabbing two dozen times shows rage filled hate.

"A man suspected in the killing of a 19-year-old University of Pennsylvania student who was stabbed nearly two dozen times and buried in a shallow grave at a California park told investigators that he was being hit on, a newspaper reported."

"Bernstein texted two female friends about a June interaction with Woodward, according to the affidavit. Bernstein wrote that Woodward was about to “hit on me” and “he made me promise not to tell anyone.”

"The affidavit also noted that Woodward told investigators that Bernstein kissed him on the lips at a stop before the park, and that he pushed Bernstein away.

Investigators said in the affidavit that as he recounted that part of his story, Woodward clenched his jaw and his fists, saying “he wanted to tell Blaze to get off of him.”"

Woodward is a lot bigger and could have easily done that. Sounds like a self-hating deep in the closet homosexual.

ORIGINAL: Charges have not yet been filed. Nothing is in the court system. Sheriff stated charges may be filed Tuesday. Tomorrow is a holiday. The charges will be based on the result of the coroner exam. DNA evidence already links Woodward to the crime. Other evidence was found on Blaze's Snapchat account after his parents allowed police access to his account. We don't know how well these two knew each other in high school. We do know that Woodward has extreme views on the bible and white supremacism and guns.

Samuel Lincoln Woodward born 04-27-1998 (He is 20) is now in custody in Orange County jail in California booking 3034445. He was arrested for the alleged murder of Blaze Bernstein around January 3, 2017. The suspect and the arrested man had attended the Orange County School of the Arts in Santa Ana at the same time as the victim at one point.Date of Birth:04-27-1998Next Appearance Date:01-17-2018 Sex:Male Next Appearance Court:CENTRAL JAIL COURT Race:White Custody Status:In Custody Height:6' 02" Bail Amount:$0.00 Weight:185 Arrested on:01-12-2018 Hair Color:Blond Housing Location:Intake Release Center (Men) Eye Color: BlueOccupation:NERF GAMES His next court appearance is January 17, 2018 at Central Jail Court. DEPARTMENT CJ1ORANGE COUNTY MEN'S JAILBUILDING 50550 N. FLOWER ST.SANTA ANA, CA 92703

Samuel is 6'2" 185 lbs. Blaze was 5'8" 130 lbs. Samuel has six inches and 55 lbs over Blaze. He easily won that fight. I think this had to do with a personal relationship or else it's a hate crime against homosexuals. I have no proof yet.
